Zitat: The P67 Extreme4 may not be the quickest P67 motherboard we’ve seen, but it’s within just a few per cent of the frontrunners´ performance. Add to this its long list of useful features and extras, and you have a solid motherboard that would make a sound base for an LGA1155 PC.

Zitat: I have really enjoyed working with the Extreme4 P67 motherboard from ASRock; the new UEFI is really easy to use and I observed that the realtime RPMs/voltages and temperatures are displayed with a higher refresh rate in the H/W monitor section compared with the BIOSes from older boards. The latest beta UEFI did also have a catchy feature: I was able to take snapshots of the UEFI menus and save them directly to USB storage, only by pressing F12. The output files are BMP, with the 1024x768 resolution! Getting to 4.8GHz is not a very difficult task thanks to the new CPU architecture and 32nm process (considering that we already have a K CPU handy, with the unlocked multiplier); however, getting to this speed with the lowest voltage possible takes a little time, and the voltages at which the CPU is stable are very different from one CPU to another. During overclocking, I did not need to use the CMOS Reset button once, the system being very stable in UEFI. The Extreme4 UEFI is also provided with a Boot Failure Guard, which kicks in in case of trouble. Overclocking to 4.8GHz seems to bring a lot of extra performance compared to stock in productivity applications, but less in games. The new CPUs are also much cooler compared to the previous generation; the hottest CPU core did not exceed 68 degrees in Prime95 after one hour, while the multiplier was set at 48, and CPU voltage at 1.265.
